Its Tough To Be A Teenager Poem by Hayley Foster

its tough to be a teenager, no one really knows
what the pressure is like in school this is how it goes

i wake up every morning and stare into this face
i wanna be good looking but i feel like a disgrace

my friends they seem to like me if i follow through with their dare
but when i try to be myself they never seem to care

my mom well she keeps telling me i gotta make the grade
while both my parents love me it slowly seems to fade

it seems like everyone i know is trying to be so cool
and everytime o try i end just a fool

i've thought about taking drug i really don't want to you know
but i just don't fit in and its really staring to show

maybe if i could make the team i'll stand out in the crowd
if they could see how hard i try i know they'd be proud

you see i'm still a *(virgin) * my friends they can't find out
cause if they really knew the truth i know they'd laugh and shout

sometimes i get so low i want to cash it in
my problems really aren't so bad if i think of how life's been

sometimes i'm really lost and wonder what to do
i wonder where to go who can i talk to

its tough to be a teenager sometimes lifes not fair
i wish i had somewhere to go and someone to really care
